Sea Buckthorn: Nature's Perfect Omega 7

After hundreds of years of quiet use, word of the astounding benefits of Omega 7 Fatty Acid has finally reached the US. This rare but powerful “MUFA” (or Monounsaturated Fatty Acid) is popping up in media and in clinical study results across the country.

Omega 7 fatty acid (also called “Palmitoleic Acid” in most scientific and clinical publications) can be found in animal and plant sources, including macadamia nuts, cold-water fish and sea buckthorn berries. Sea buckthorn contains a much higher concentration of this valuable fatty acid, up to 40% as compared to 17% in macadamia nuts. While this omega has numerous skin and health benefits........Read Full Article

The "Skin"ny on Sea Buckthorn Pet Balm

Ah, summertime. The weather has warmed up nicely and you’re bound to be spending more time outdoors with your furry friends. Many families take advantage of the weather and take their dogs to the lake, fishing, or on camping trips. Wherever you may go this summer, it’s a good idea to take Seabuck7 Skin Relief Stick with you.  Why?  It is compact, lightweight and useful in case your pup needs some quick relief. 

What is Seabuck7 Skin Relief Stick?

The Skin Relief Stick was designed to be used on a variety of skin conditions or excessively dry areas. It is exceptionally useful in soothing inflamed skin. Its ingredient list is a gold mine of nutrient-boosting components that are well-known for soothing, protecting and nourishing skin. 

Skin Relief Stick contains:

• Coconut Oil
• Beeswax
• Wild Crafted Himalayan Sea Buckthorn Oil
• Sunflower Seed Oil
• Cocoa Seed Butter
• Shea Butter

What is it used for?

Skin Relief Stick was designed to be used on irritated, inflamed or dry skin.  If you spend a lot of time outside with your dog this summer, his or her paw pads may become rough and dry, especially if exposed to hot asphalt or sand. SeaBuck 7 Skin Relief Stick can be used after you clean and dry your dog’s paws – locking moisture into the pads. This is an excellent addition to your dog’s routine grooming.  Many veterinarians recommend bathing your dog every 7-10 days and use of fragrance-free, moisturizing conditioners. Moisturized paw pads are less likely to crack and get infected. If you live in an area with lots of snow and ice during the winter, Skin Relief Stick can be used as a protective barrier and moisturizer on the paw pads. 

If your dog is out on the trail with you camping, small cuts, abrasions and bug bites are bound to happen. A little of the Skin Relief Stick will help relieve discomfort and may help speed the healing process. 

Power of sea buckthorn berry, the all-natural “active ingredient”

Don’t rely on old, opened tubes of Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic Cream any longer. These creams contain antibiotics and antifungals that are not beneficial for the healing of minor scrapes and hot spots in animals.  Also, in the age of microbial resistance to antibiotics, use of these ointments is not always responsible. Old, open containers can also mean that the active ingredients are no longer active.

Sea buckthorn berry contains a myriad of active ingredients, including antioxidants and omegas 3 and 7. Omega fatty acids are well known for improving the skin’s health.  Studies have also shown that sea buckthorn oils have antibacterial and antifungal properties, which help to prevent infection from setting in. 

If your dog suffers from time to time from “hot spots” – which often precipitate from a flea or environmental allergy – the Skin Relief Stick can aid in the healing process. Early intervention when your dog first develops a small hot spot can mean all the difference. If you notice that your dog is developing a hot spot, keep the area clean and free of air. If your pet is exceptionally uncomfortable, seek veterinary attention.  Skin Relief Stick is not recommended for use on open wounds or infected hot spots. Talk to your veterinarian before use, as products like Skin Relief Stick can be useful as a part of your dog’s treatment plan. Stay safe this summer and remember to be prepared! 

Q&A Interview with SeaBuck 7 Fan Bella

The newest addition to the SeaBuck 7 family is quite the cutie. If you haven't heard, we're having a special offer in Bella's honor for 25% OFF the entire SeaBuck 7 line. Since then, she's insisted we do a spotlight piece on her for all her fans and friends which she estimates to be in the millions!

She's a young bachelorette living and loving the single life, eating cheese and chicken when she pleases. She's a huge fan of our Omega 7 Oil and tells us, "It helps keep my curly fur young and puppy soft. My mom always told me to drink lots of water for healthy skin and a beautiful coat. While that's still great advice, I was introduced to sea buckthorn and it's become my 'secret weapon' when it comes to looking great, nourishing my heart and keeping my body healthy."

Here's Bella's wisdom in our Q&A interview:

SeaBuck 7: "So Bella, What were the first benefits you noticed using the Omega 7 Oil?"

Bella: "Well let me just start by saying, I hate going to the groomers. I hate it like a chew toy that doesn't squeak. Long story short, I won't be so upset on my next trip to the groomers. I've never gotten so many compliments on my coat before! I mean, I knew looked good, but not THAT good. I felt like a canine celebrity. Now I know how Scooby Doo and Lassie feel."

SeaBuck 7: That's great you've had a big improvement in your coat. The high omega 7 levels in our products really help nourish the skin and coat. What do you think about the taste on the Omega 7 Oil? What do you think other dogs will think of it?

Bella: "I'd say the taste will probably go unnoticed 99% of the time. Most of my friends don't even know it's mixed in with their food. Some love it so much they'll eat it right out of their owner's palm. It's great for even the pickiest pets, and believe me, I've got some pretty picky friends."

SeaBuck 7: Great! So all dogs can use the Omega 7 Oil without worrying about a strong or overpowering taste like some supplements available today?

Bella: "Definitely! Try it and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed."

SeaBuck 7: Bella, we have one final question to sum it all up. Why is it important to include clean, high nutrient supplements in your diet?

Bella: Well, Amber, my owner, started a new healthy lifestyle eating more fruits and veggies, adding some superfoods and staying away from "unhealthy" foods. It didn't take long before I could tell her overall health was improving and it got me thinking......what about me? How come I'm only getting the basics, and sometimes even less, while humans all over the world are getting some of the best stuff for their bodies. Are we not a living, breathing part of this life too? Just because we can't speak doesn't mean we're not missing out on essential nutrients that can help us live longer, healthier, and happier lives. More importantly, living longer, healthier and happier lives with YOU!

SeaBuck 7: "You make a good point Bella. Hopefully our interview will help other pet owners out there understand the importance of pet health and how by simply adding some select supplements to their pet's diet can make all the difference. Thanks your time and insight Bella. It's great to hear your point of view and we'll be looking forward to another interview soon."

Bella: "Thanks. It was a pleasure spending time with you guys. SeaBuck 7 Rocks! Oh, and by the way, any fan mail can be sent to care@seabuck.com. I also want to send a special shout-out to my favorite toy beaver provider www.PetFlow.com!
